Basically something went wrong with my phone and the touchscreen no longer works. I tried switching the motherboard to another phone but that doesnt fix the problem. I have some info in the memo pad app I would like to get but I cannot find it in explorer.. I used a program called Moborobo that allows me to look in to the files on my phone but I have looked and looked and cant find them. It wont let me export the app either becuase it is asking for SU permission and I cant touch the screen to allow it. Does anyone know where the actual info in the app is stored in file explorer?? Or any other solution, Im all ears. Thanks in advance for any help you can give!!!

Greetings. Been haunting this place for awhile, happy to finally have root.
After the phone is rooted the last step is something that sweeps up a bunch of SE's stock apps that most people don't want. What about us who actually liked a few of them, though?
I would have liked to keep the app called "TrackID," and am wondering if there's any way to get it back? I can't really find like a repository for the base APKs (I might want the Mixi plugin for Timescape back in the future, as well).
Can someone rip these out somehow for individual installing?
Here it is:

Just install the apk.
Its works for me.
Nice threat, nice anwser.
It works fine with me too.
Thanks!
Preventing the rooting process from removing apps
Hello, You could just enter the step4 folder and open the cleanup.sh file in notepad or similar.
Remove the line saying rm *packagename here*. Then your app will only be copied to your SD, but it will also remain on the phone.
track id request
i couldnt download the package, the link no longer works :-(
Could someone uóad it again to another server? Because its a common problem and will br of much help thanks

ok... but now...
I have the app already installed, but now evertime it tries to connect it says "authentication error".... help?
I gave up and rooted the phone again, i went from steps 1 to 3 with no problems, using track id everytime to make sure it worked, and it did, I even used the cleanup script and it was there working very well...
So, I used steps 4 and 5 (for the X10a) But now it wont work... it says "authentication error".... what gives?
Sorry for my english, I´m from mexico...
Everything on my phone is working fine...
For TrackID I can only say that it was probably a rights issue.
Use chmod or Root Explorer to set the rights(644).
For step 4 and 5 i cant help,i have only a 3 step X10i ,sorry.
But dont give up, i think u find the help here on XDA.
So, went out and picked up a Mini Pro for the misses.
Well, off the bat I went crazy cause I couldn't find "Market" and well...after searching online, guess this damn region doesn't support the Market. How wonderful is that, so downloaded stuff online through slideme. Which really still sucks.
Then when I downloaded things to my laptop and wanted to bluetooth them over, I couldn't. Then when I wanted to send ringtones from my phone to the mini pro, I couldn't. So I searched, and wouldn't you know it. I gotta download a program, so I downloaded bluetooth explorer and then it prompted me that I gotta root this SOB to be able to send files through bluetooth? Did I just buy an iPhone or what?!
So I plugged in the phone through USB. And we copied over the APK. and I downloaded a file explorer, so I could get to the damn APK (really no file explorer included, or clearly apparent?). And when we launched the file (MSN), we found we couldn't send files, images, or anything other than text. Are you kidding me?
With all these limitations, how is Android so popular?
Are there any possible solutions without having to root this bastard? (aside from MSN). I just bought this thing and don't wanna void warranty so damn early so I could make it something PRACTICAL like every other phone.
I'm guessing you're used to nokia's and the like. I must say i've found bluetooth file transfer a little hit and miss on android, but you need an app called bluetooth file transfer but it's on the market i'm afraid. Where are you then? You can get the market app from these forums and an enabler for regions not supported so you may need to do some digging.

Not used to Nokia's. Used to WinMo and running Android Froyo on my Topaz.
Could not find the market standalone app for the life of me. And the phone is from Saudi Arabia, and I can't justify rooting it just yet.
@bmzloum
Hi! I feel your pain. Android Marketplace is not supported in my part of the world too. I am looking for alternate ways to get apps into my phone.
You mentioned that you had to download a separate File Manager to get to the .apk files. Can you tell me which app you are using?
Also how did you manage to install the File Manager in the first place if you could not get to the .apk files?
Do you copy the .apk files to your MicroSD card? Do you any other advice to make installation easier if we download the Apps to our computer then then try to install them to our phone?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Cheers and good luck with your new phone.
Appbrain App Market and Apktor are viable alternatives for getting apps on your phone, the latter you'll need to find public repositories for. Sorry can't post links cause of restrictions on a new account, but google knows all.

Hey, found
Code:
http://slideme.org/
which let me download with the barcode, and then I installed the sites app manager directly on there. There are a ton of file managers, I downloaded two, I forget which. But the two most popular ones. Both worked, but only one handled ZIP files. I don't have the phone beside me, so can't recall...
I found the Market standalone apk, but it crashed everytime I clicked on "Download" so I gave up on it.
I'm gonna try those suggestions posted up and see if they have a few new nice apps on there.
I had the exact same issue as others above. My solution was to use the debranded UK Firmware, root the phone and then use the Bluetooth File Manager.
bmazloum: My phone also came from the UAE side and didn't have the Market. I used Omnius to flash the firmware. A friend of mine on the otherhand paid the local Sony Service Centre to flash and debrand the ROM. Maybe this might help
Guys you don't have to move the apk file over to the phone in order to install it btw... get Adb from the Android SDK and then place the apk file in the same folder as adb.
And then from command prompt, navigate to the folder with adb and your apk and type "adb install example.apk".
Make sure you have USB Debugging (Applications -> Development) enabled and that's it.
Works nicely on a Mini. Not sure about the Pro to be honest.
Hello,
Right so tech savy people lets get the creative juices flowing!
Problem?
1. I cant remove the gmail account I added to my phone,sure others cant either.
2. I can technically, WITH A FACTORY RESET, but I dont want to do this.
Ive searched on XDA for a fix to this and Ive ran across an attachment for the HTC Desire. Havnt tried it because its not for the Vibrant. Maybe someone can play around with it and make it work on Vibrant?
AND... Ive came across this code/walkthrough (not for vibrant)
"download from xda developers UniversalAndroot 1.6.1
download the sqlite browser here
install universalandroot.apk on your mobile
run it and get the root access
select the debug from menu->settings->applications->development->usb debugging
plug in the phone on your pc and select the sync method with pc
download the SDK from google android site.
copy the zip content in c:\android
open cmd and go to c:\andorid\tools\
lunch adb.exe shell
you will see the $
write su
look on the screen of your phone. You will be asked to accept the root connection. just accept.
now in cmd you will see #
cd /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/databases
cat contacts2.db > /sdcard/contacts2.db
open the db from your sdcard with sqlite browser and modify the _sync_ table removing the unwanted account row.
cd /data/data/com.google.android.providers.gmail
delete the unwanted [email protected] file
from /data/system/sync/accounts.xml delete all account rows you don't need more and modify the sequence id
from /data/system/accounts.db remove the row of unwanted account and save the file (as in 17th step)"
Anyhow... anyone can help me and a ton of other people out there?
Thanks,
Tim
Are you rooted? If you are you can use root explorer from the market (paid app) to remove it.
Well I will give that a try. Sounds fairly simple. Now would I have to worry about contact and other data being erased when I try this? =)
And ill still be able to use another google account as the primary right?
Thanks,
Tim
any answers for me?

Morning all
Just got my tab 10.1 yesterday, rooted and installed overcomes ROM this morning. For the life of me I cannot copy over any MKV files as i want to put my files on the damned thing. I've had a quick search through and it seems most people can do it somehow its just no one has given a fool proof way of doing it as far as i can see (i know i will be wrong there)
I have tried to use recovery usb mount but that just doesn't work and every time i use the mtp is just crashes windows explorer.
Please can someone tell me there is a way i can get my files onto my tablet?
any help is greatly received

MTP crashes Explorer.exe? Thats really weird. Sounds like you have bad drivers. Uninstall and reinstall your Samsung drivers and try again.
Another option is to get the USB connector piece that allows you to connect and view the contents of a USB drive with a file manager app straight from the tablet.
One more option is Dropbox. Its a personal file sharing software that lets you see your files from any device with internet. Just drop the files from your computer into your dropbox folder and they will automatically upload online. You can then go to www.dropbox.com and sign in to see these files. Android devices have a Dropbox app, so you don't even have to open the browser, all your files are right there in a folder on your homescreen for you.
If you don't have a dropbox account, Click Here to Sign Up You get 2gigs of free storage space.
rename the extension .mkv to something else like .abc and it should work.

I should have said I renamed. The mkv in question was only 850mb and it crashes. However an mp4 of 1.4gb works fine. All be it it asks me to convert it first.
I'll try and remove the drivers and reinstall and see if that works when I finish work.
So I sync music from my music to my phone through DoubleTwist AirSync and DoubleTwist sends pictures and videos from my phone to my computer. Every time it syncs, DoubleTwist tells me some files didn't sync and it says "failed (unknown error)". It used to be 11 or 13, but I've gotten it down to 4 by scavenging through Root Explorer looking for the files that give errors and I've found and deleted some, but I can't find these last 4. All 4 are errors from importing FROM my device, not to it, so it must be something on my phone.
My question is basically, how can I find these pictures?
Also, on a side note, I found a file logo.mp4 which was giving a DoubleTwist error and my phone couldn't open it, so I just deleted it, but could it have been something important? I don't think it was in a sub-folder. I think it was just in the root of the SD Card.
Anyway, if anyone could help, I'd greatly appreciate it!

If you have the file names of the pics try the search function of the root explorer, searching from the root directory ( / ).

Using any file explorer open memory card and see throughout..
If you want to find deleted file than its difficult to recover sometimes recova a pc software can recover some deleted files
we all should be polite enough to press thanks for anyone who helped US.

It's Recuva, from I think piriform.
They have free version and paid software.
